Description
The trail connects from other trails. If starting from the pond, it begins with a gorgeous hike along the north side of Round Pond. Continuing down the path towards Piper Mountain, views are limited as the area is primarily wooded. At approximately 1.75 miles, a view of Piper/Swett Mountain Ridge is visible. The trail then continues to traverse the side of Belknap Mountain with several small stream crossings. The trail then ends with a connection to Old Piper Trail which leads to the summit of Piper Mountain.
